Apache Spark: The New Enterprise Backbone for ETL, Batch and Real-time Streaming

Thursday May 10, 2018 | 10:00 am PT / 01:00 pm ET

In spite of investments in big data lakes, there is wide use of expensive proprietary products for data ingestion, integration, and transformation (ETL) while bringing and processing data on the lake.

Enterprises have now successfully tested Apache Spark for its versatility and strengths as a distributed computing framework that can completely handle all needs for data processing, analytics, and machine learning workloads.

Since the Hadoop distributions and the public cloud already include Apache Spark, there is nothing new to be procured. However, the skills required to put Spark to good use are typically unavailable today.

In this webinar, we will discuss how Apache Spark can be an inexpensive enterprise backbone for all types of data processing workloads. We will also demo how a visual framework on top of Apache Spark makes it much more viable.
